Sequels Singer Approached For X4?

[Spider-Fan83]

But he was very loyal to the Superman movies from before with SR... why he'd do the same with X3? (btw, you don't have to put the lettering in size 1 to say that you did like the movie )

I don't wanna even get into the issues I take, with SR (I didn't even see)
but, form what I know and heard about, it wasn't exactly, what I would call loyal, anyway, that movie, wasn't really a sequel, following someone else movie. singer has his own way of doing things, and he does things in his own style, making a squeal, to something that wasn't done in his style, might prove difficult for him, grained, the first two where his, and done in his style, and it would fit the tone of them, (I just don’t think) it would fit the tone of x3. IMO
just saying

(btw, you don't have to put the lettering in size 1 to say that you did like the movie )

I just put it in small text, cause it was a side note, not necessarily related to my other statement, and not very important, it was in no way hiding how I felt about the movie (in fear of those who didn't like) lol
nor, am I embarrassed to of like (cause it was a good movie)

I sort of wish now that WB had not signed a contract with Singer for him to direct the next Superman movie. Maybe then he would've agreed to do X4.

indeed. I had hope they would hire another director for the sequel of Superman, but when i saw he was hired again, I lost any hope I could have

 

[chaseter]

Great news! But if this does happen, there won't be another one until like 2010 since Superman would rap in 2009. Kind of sucks he has to work on Superman for 3 years.

2010? 2012 would be my bet. Boy, I would happily wait.

I meant when it got started. But yes, this news excites me. It makes me happy that there is more than likely going to be an X4 and that the main man Singer wants to do it. Lets now hope that Fox doesn't rush it and make it compete with Superman. Because X4 will loose to the next Superman. Great news...made my day!

Just the probability that FOX searched Singer to talk about an eventual X4 makes me put a smile on my face.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Well regarding Jean. I think Jean should stay dead for 1 or 2 films...but in the mean time, I think after X3, Madelyne Pryor should step forward into the picture.

X4 is time for Emma Frost. If Cyclops is alive and Singer follows that root, Emma Frost would be a good love interest and bad guy for Cykes.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I would actually like to see a whole new director for X4. Singer created this film world, yes, but i'd rather see someone else continue it.

For a X4, I want to see Cyclops come back, Jean stay dead, NO MAGNETO (love the character, and Ian's portrayel, but I wanna see some other villains like Mr. Sinister).

I am glad to hear he was at least approached, since that means that it may get made. I just want to see a new director come one.

 

[Morgoth]

Good to hear there will be an X-4 for sure. I don't care if Singer does it or not. Looks like he won't be able to.

 

[Goddessreicho]

NO MORE SINGER. Jesus, the man didn't know what to do with the majority of the cast. If the X-men only included Logan and Jean, sure. But last time I checked the X-men were a few more than them.

Poor worthless Scott, and meaningless Ororo. For orginial core team members they got Singer's shaft. Lol that sounded funny.

After seeing what he had in mind, good grief, let him tangle himself up in Donner's biggest mistake in SRII.

 

[PeRfEcT_StOrM]

like Ratner did?

it was better than X1 and X2! just like Ratner! i want him back!

 

[Robin91939]

I think that Singer's X-MEN 4 team would include the following:

Emma Frost
Iceman
Colossus
Shadow Cat
Angel
Nightcrawler

and bringing back Scott.

It wouldn't be hard to do.

Trask has been tracking mutant activity. Following the "rise of the Phoenix" there is a huge energy spike that is seen via satellite. He sends men to Canada without orders from the President to investigate. While there, they get there just as the X-Jet leaves with Jean, Logan, and Storm. As they look up at the jet leaving- all the stones and leaves around them fall. They hear something else, a voice, its a man on the ground in pain, curled up holding his eyes. He lies there screaming for Jean. The task force takes him in, after one is blown a few hundred feet away after trying to remove Scott's hands from his eyes. They know he's a mutant. They radio Trask asking what to do. He tells them to bring him in- He can use him for an experiment he has.

The experiment, Project Wide Awake and the Mastermold will use Scott as a test subject to discover the Sentinel's ability to search and destroy a mutant.
When Xavier discovers Scott's existence through Cerebro- the race is on to save him, and Scott gets his own movie. About 40 minutes through he is rescued- and then he uses the information he gained about the Sentinels and Trask while captured to lead the X-men to stop this new threat on their existence.


Plus, everyone knows that if Singer DID direct an X-MEN 4, people would hail it as the true X-MEN 3, and abolish X3: THE LAST STAND...kinda bites, cause THE LAST STAND wasn't terrible.

[Electrix]

I think if Singer said yes we'd have an X4 but I doubt we will get one if not. They know he can make good X-Men films and for the franchise to continue they would have to have a solid X4. Bryan would bring his writers who can write solid films so FOX would be happy.

If not they FOX can either wait a while then get a good director and good writers and do a little restart. Maybe continue from X3 or maybe continue from a few years after X3 so that changes can occur, like the cast.

FOX may have said no X4 but it hasnt stopped them thinking about it.

I think X4 should introduce the Hellfire Club...Emma Frost...and pit them against the X-Men. We then need to introduce a new bad guy...probably Sinister and we could have the mutant massacre and finally get Gambit. We could also have as you said, problems with Trask and the White House. That could make Beast come back to the mansion...all the tension in the government.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

I would LOVE Singer to come back for X4, it is the only way i would be interested in it. But i doubt even he could repair the damage of X3.

the only thing damaged about X3 was all singers fault

no cyclops, those where the sins of singer making wolverine such a main character that he had to be the main love interest for jean grey

rouge sucking, not ratners fault, yep its singers fault

storm not doing ****, oh what a wonder, singer leaves and storm actually does stuff, this is fascinating, bryan singer sucks, he is everything that is wrong with the xmen movies and he should never come back, he can continue making bland superman movies with no action, there where 2,000 special effects in that peice of ****, and all superman is doing is getting cats out of trees, and having his son save the day...awesome

 

[04nbod]

singers not the only good director out there- hopefully they will pick one up- there is an x men without singer and maybe someone will have an original, intresting vision just as good as singer- we have to give it a chance

ummm just a nit pick but when was storm an original....as to what id like to see bring on Sinister and make the Jimmy the lead like he should have been

 

[X-Maniac]

I have mixed feelings here.

While i enjoy all three X-movies in a general way, Bryan Singer has a tendency to go off on his own tangent and create stories that veer away from the source material.

Just remember, everyone, how much people have moaned about Storm, Rogue being an insecure teenager, Iceman being a student, Jean being a doctor, Mastermind being disabled son of Stryker, Cyclops being inferior to Wolverine and out of the picture for two of the movies, Deathstryke having no history with Wolverine and dying in the movie, Sabretooth having no history with Wolverine, etc etc.

While Bryan might make good character drama movies, some characters are sidelined (not good in an X-Men movie where each character has a strong fanbase) and the source material is tossed aside so he can create his own personal idea of the characters and how they fit into a story.

Given the criticism against him and his inexperienced writers over the Superman movie, would it not be a good idea to consider other directors who are more open-minded and more respectful of the source material?

Bryan might be better suited to the Wolverine movie (as he loves that character) or for a small-scale X-students movie.

It's also true that creating an X4 will be quite hard after X3 wrapped things up pretty tightly.

 

[gothicFLAVOURS]

Bryan would bring his writers who can write solid films so FOX would be happy.

That's the thing, FOX is happy with X3, a big budget movie that was made in a year (more or less) and one that gave them a lot of money (Box Office and DVD Sales).

I couldn't care less about Singer's return. I loved X3 (even if I missed a couple of things like the firebird), it had the dynamism the first two lacked in my opinion.

 

[Goddessreicho]

ummm just a nit pick but when was storm an original....as to what id like to see bring on Sinister and make the Jimmy the lead like he should have been

Movie-verse core orginial members: Scott, Jean, Ororo (watch the movies very carefully again and they will tell you...) Beast was a later addition to round them out.

For X2 to center around the plot of God Loves was a huge blow to Cyke. If you read God Loves you will find out that Cyke isn't in it much. He does get kidnapped. This is further proof that the writers had NO intention of letting Cyke be a functional team leader or a major character.

From his blundering mistakes in X1 to his 48 minute disappearence in X2, I don't think Fox had any intention of doing anything with him.

Instead of a backwards weird bizzaro version of God Loves Man Kills, they should have brought in Sinister in X2 or the Shadow King.

Wolverine should have been put to the side after X1.

 

[04nbod]

i like singer - i thought SR was great(but i'm not a fan of the superman comics) and think he would make a great movie if he listened to the fans once in a while

 

[Majik1387]

I have mixed feelings here.

While i enjoy all three X-movies in a general way, Bryan Singer has a tendency to go off on his own tangent and create stories that veer away from the source material.

Just like every director does. Nolan did it with his realism to Batman, Burton did it with his Batman, Story did it with Fantastic Four, Johnson with Daredevil, etc. Not trying to argue but that's what directors do when they adapt something.

Just remember, everyone, how much people have moaned about Storm, Rogue being an insecure teenager, Iceman being a student, Jean being a doctor, Mastermind being disabled son of Stryker, Cyclops being inferior to Wolverine and out of the picture for two of the movies, Deathstryke having no history with Wolverine and dying in the movie, Sabretooth having no history with Wolverine, etc etc.

I'm not even gonna go into Storm from the movie. He succeeded in showing Rogue pre-sex kitten, Iceman was a student of the school though he was a different age than in the comics, not ruling out the possibilty that Deathstryke had a history with Logan because seeing as Logan doesn't remember their past and Deathstryke is being controlled by Stryker they don't know much about anything in the past.
I never understood the complaints about Jean as a doctor, I didn't think it took away anything from her character, if anything it added to it. How was Cyclops inferior to Logan? They traded jabs, Logan had better ones but Cyclops was still right. I agree he was out of the movie for X-2 but that has happened in the comics in stories, an X-Man gets captured by the villains, in X-2 it happened to be Cyclops.
I agree, I was a bit upset that there was no history between Logan and Sabretooth, but they can still bring it in future movies.

While Bryan might make good character drama movies, some characters are sidelined (not good in an X-Men movie where each character has a strong fanbase) and the source material is tossed aside so he can create his own personal idea of the characters and how they fit into a story.

Every now and then in the comics a character is sidelined, nothing new.

Bryan might be better suited to the Wolverine movie (as he loves that character) or for a small-scale X-students movie.

I agree but I still think he's the best option for an X-4 if the studio wanted him.

It's also true that creating an X4 will be quite hard after X3 wrapped things up pretty tightly.

Yes that's true for about any director they hire.

I'm not trying to argue but I don't think Singer did any worse with X1 and X2 than Ratner did with X3, but I do know he did better in X1 and X2 than what was done in X3.

 

[X-Maniac]

If Bryan does return, there would need to be changes.....
